The Center for Science will be hosting its second annual Dinosaur Carnival from Saturday, Dec. 23 to Sunday, Dec. 31 at its Dinosaurs! Exhibit in Rockville Centre. From 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., families will enjoy dinosaur-inspired carnival games, face painting, educational programs, encounters with friendly dinosaur characters, giveaways, prizes and more.
Tickets are $12 for children ages 2-13, $15 for children and adults ages 14 and up and $12 for seniors over 65. Tickets include entry into the Dinosaurs! and Live Animals Exhibit. The Carnival will be closed on Monday, Dec. 25 and on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
“The holiday break is a perfect time for families to visit our dinosaur exhibit with 10 animatronic dinosaurs and more than 20 realistic dinosaur skeleton casts. Our Dinosaur carnival creates a fun atmosphere combined with science and learning. The exhibit is great for all ages and unlike any other attraction on Long Island,” said Ray Ann Havasy, executive director of The Center for Science.
The Dinosaurs! And Live Animals Exhibit gives visitors a unique up-close-and-personal experience where they learn how animals adapt and survive, which is demonstrated through a unique intermixing of dinosaurs and live animals together.
Families and children will be impressed by the floor-to-ceiling hand-painted prehistoric dinosaur murals. Live wild animals that are part of the exhibit, include owls, emus, golden pheasants, goats, snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs and more.
As a science and STEM education-focused not-for-profit organization, the Center for Science is dedicated to providing students of all ages with a place to engage in both formal and informal learning. To purchase tickets or to learn more about The Center for Science, please visit, www.cstl.org.
